Standard

Revision of IEEE Std 532-1993. This guide covers properties of commonly used jackets as well as selection and testing of jackets. It is written for those responsible for optimizing cable designs. The purpose is to present a reasonably complete picture of the role of jackets so that the subject can be approached in an orderly and organized manner. An effort has been made to avoid the highly technical language and theory commonly used by electrical engineers and chemists to discuss the more detailed application of jackets.

Jackets furnish mechanical protection for cables during installation and heat cycling. Jackets retard the ingress of water and earth chemicals into the underlying core. Jackets over metallic shields, sheaths and concentric neutral wires also provide protection against corrosion.

1.1 This standard provides a guide for the information to be obtained and provides specific recommended criteria for evaluating the capabilities of an agency to conduct tests and to report on tests performed in accordance with the standards promulgated by Committee E-6 on Performance of Building ...

1.1 This provisional practice covers the collection and documentation of quality control (QC) measurements for determining acceptable levels of instrumental performance when using field-portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry devices (XRFs) for the purposes of generating lead c...

1.1 This terminology covers the principal terms relating to methods of mechanical testing of solids. The general definitions are restricted and interpreted, when necessary, to make them particularly applicable and practicable for use in standards requiring or relating to mechanical tests. These d...

This guide is intended to be used by laboratory accrediting bodies to apply a variety of surveillance procedures that are appropriate in the maintenance of accreditation. It supplements and expands on the information related to surveillance provided in Guide E 994
